The "Prism Gate Incident" is a serial drama, and his influence will obviously not disappear immediately, and the "Washington Post" and the British "Guardian" saw that Zhou Shi's news hotspot was about to suppress Fallen, and hurriedly exposed more information. However, because Smallen is not out of danger and is seeking political asylum, he has not announced the surveillance of EU countries, especially Germany.

It was also when the influence of Prism Gate increased greatly, Yahoo's negotiations for a stake in AMD were finally completed, and Yahoo acquired 19.9% of AMD's shares through cash and stock, becoming its largest shareholder, and other major shareholders such as Alaba's local tycoon agreed with the acquisition. At this time, Yahoo's stock price, which has an unusually complex product line, was hit and began to fall.

"Yahoo's business structure is very simple, we only have three business segments: artificial intelligence, big data analysis and cloud computing, Yelp is an independent life service, we use Yahoo's mature technology to help yelp develop, save costs, and give back to society. Executives such as Zhou Shi and Chen Shouzong have successively expressed their positions to explain the present and future of Yahoo.

Not only are there external skepticism about Yahoo's development, but there is also a lack of consensus within the company.

"We use the OpenStack open source cloud computing platform, if the user tells us that there is a need that cannot be solved by the existing OpenStack function, then should we develop such a function? After development, do we submit it to the community, or do we keep it ourselves? If we submit this feature and the community accepts it, then we will give away the competitive advantage you have worked so hard to build. If we submit a feature but the community doesn't accept it, or if we don't submit it, it will be very difficult to integrate the feature we develop with the new version of OpenStack released by the community, and this difficulty will get worse over time. "Some people are so opposed to Yahoo doing open source cloud computing.

OpenStack is licensed under the Apache license and is a free software and open source project that allows anyone to build and provide their own cloud computing services. Many vendors, including HP, Dell, EMC, IBM, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and Rackspace, are jumping into Openstack, while NASA has withdrawn from investing in its R&D. Too many players are involved, which makes this open source project more complicated, and it makes sense to oppose open source cloud computing.

"Our cloud computing originates from open source, is stronger than open source, gives back to open source, and insists on being our own on the OpenStack framework, in order to unify the architecture, services, and ecology. Of course, Zhou Shi knows that technology is not the main problem for a large enterprise like Yahoo, and independent research and development can be done well, but there are Amazon Cloud and Time Cloud in the past, and then Microsoft and Google, what advantages can Yahoo have in independent research and development? Only on the basis of open source, doing a good job in hybrid cloud is the way out for Yahoo's public cloud business.

"We need to make hardware serve cloud computing rather than cloud computing serving hardware, and insist on focusing on me, not Yahoo, but insisting on the long-term development of open source cloud computing.

We must face up to our own advantages and shortcomings, arm our cloud computing business with open computing projects and artificial intelligence, and at the same time do a good job of compatibility with Time Cloud, and even make a hybrid cloud open platform in the future to facilitate the self-owned migration between cloud computing enterprises!" Zhou Shi continued

Yahoo's own business has begun to migrate to its own public cloud, but it is still a little wavering on the issue of open source. Zhou Shi doesn't understand technology, but through the introduction of so many experts and technical experts, he also knows that the gap between independent research and development and open source in technology is not big, but the way to achieve the purpose is different. There are many friends in open source, and it is more troublesome to coordinate, and independent research and development mainly depends on oneself. For Zhou Shi, who is not an engineer and has no technocratic tendencies, since he does not need to open source all the technologies he develops, he can choose open source, so open source cloud computing is more suitable and easier to internationalize.

"We can try to be the lead of the OpenStack project, and if not, start a branch of our own. Zhou Shi finally said, setting the tone for this matter. He doesn't know if OpenStack's open source cloud computing can succeed, but he is sure that the self-developed cloud computing technology will be difficult to compete with Amazon, Time, and Microsoft. Even if the technology is as powerful as Google, it can't compete with Amazon and Microsoft, so how can Yahoo surpass Google?

The other side of Yahoo Cloud Computing, LinkedIn, had more than 200 million users last year and opened up the Chinese market, and it has maintained a high growth rate this year.

"Since we used the "endorsement" system to connect the active and the inactive, and labeled users as "web front-end developer", "operation guru", "growth hacker", etc., highlighting everyone's unknown skills, making everyone's resume look more glamorous, and greatly promoting the activity and growth rate of users......

The function of DingTalk is becoming more and more perfect, and it can now intervene in enterprise internal applications, third-party enterprise applications, third-party personal applications and mobile application account associations, enriching the application market and industry problem solving center, the number of monthly active users has reached 50 million, and the number of settled enterprises has reached 800,000!" said Red Hoffman

LinkedIn is not only doing Internet intelligent headhunting work, but also doing intelligent mobile office services, DingTalk has made great efforts in security, confidentiality and privacy, and is ready to enhance its reputation through third-party certification in the future. At the same time, LinkedIn has a built-in information flow product, the professional version of Toutiao, which is expected to become a platform for professionals to produce and obtain content knowledge.

Change is everywhere, and Zhou Shi is full of expectations for Yahoo's future, but

"Do you think there is a problem with the development of Yahoo?" Zhou Shi couldn't help but ask

"I don't know what other people think, but at least when it comes to LinkedIn joining Yahoo, I think it's important to be right! I think you're ......," said Reid Hoffman

"Simon, don't worry too much about the outside world and the volatility of the market, the current difficulties are only temporary, and without you, Yahoo would not be where it is now......" Morse

The decline in Yahoo's stock price, coupled with Zhou Shi's great popularity at this time, many people began to question the development of Yahoo, believing that the rise in Yahoo's stock price was mainly due to the appreciation of their shares in Alibaba, the huge potential of the acquisition of LinkedIn, and Yahoo's own product lines such as Yahoo Pass, Flickr, Yahoo News and other APPs have a huge user base. The merger between Yahoo and Yelp dragged down Yahoo's growth, allowing Zhou Shi to cash out at a high level, while several of Yahoo's original shareholders filed lawsuits against Zhou Shi and Yahoo......

As soon as Zhou Shi received an apology from the White House, he immediately ushered in doubts, which shows that it is impossible for him to take all the good things in this world alone. Fortunately, these problems are not too big, and there is no threat to him, but he is just uncomfortable.
